The Day Iwas Born
The day I was born
The day I was born the sky was clear with blue scattering,
If at all not I have not seen that
The day I was born, the air was blowing incessantly
If at all not how do I know to bother unnecessarily
The day I was born, I hope the earth smelled uniquely
If not then also I was not bothered as I had no smell buds developed
The day I was born, the water was the only fluid I must have touched
But how could I know as the epidermis was not in tune, I had no clue
The day I was born, I do not worshipped almighty as there was no meaning to it
Or perhaps no one took me to chapel, Temple, Mosque or Guru Dwara
As six days birth rituals were observed as told later on by my mother
But I should have remembered I was breathing that time with Ida, Pingla and Susumna,
For my survival as understood lately
Probably not sure of who took care of my great entry to my mother’s lap
But all I know is zero, zero and only zero memory prevails till now
But yet I survived with all odds and even
Then who to thank for all these cosmic phenomena, a million dollar question to my co inhibits….
